Yarning Strong New Release for 8-10 year olds
Foreword
“Children are not born racist. It is so important to provide them with information and therefore the tools to counter the possibility of negative, ignorant and often plain wrong facts and perceptions about Australia’s First Peoples. Education is the most powerful tool to ensure that a positive and truthful knowledge and appreciation of the Aboriginal story is told.”
